30-year-old influencer Fati Vázquez has revealed she is receiving death threats following speculation about a possible romantic relationship with Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal after the pair appeared to vacation at the same location.
The controversy began when fans noticed similarities between photos posted on Instagram by both Vázquez and Yamal. The Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo verified that images shared by the two, posted three days apart, showed identical locations including a distinctive infinity pool with a recognizable tree and canopy, as well as similar rocky backdrops from boat trips.
As speculation mounted about a potential romance, Vázquez took to Instagram on Tuesday to address the situation and the disturbing backlash she has faced.
"It's sad to see people who have such darkness inside that they wish death on someone they don't even know," she wrote. "What others project, speaks more about them than me. I choose to live with the purpose of continuing to grow and surrounding myself with light."
In a remarkably measured response to the threats, Vázquez added: "To those who wish me ill, I wish them healing, because nobody who is well in themselves wishes the destruction of another."
Neither Vázquez nor Yamal has directly confirmed or denied the nature of their relationship, leaving fans to speculate based solely on the matching vacation photos.
Yamal, who has been making headlines for his exceptional performances with Barcelona, has previously been linked to several high-profile football stories, including comparisons to legends like Messi and Ronaldo, and discussions about future Ballon d'Or prospects.
This incident highlights the darker side of social media fame and the often toxic environment public figures navigate, especially when personal relationships become subject to public scrutiny.
